The cooler mod thread: Modded and homemade coolers – reminder
There are countless threads in the PCGH Extreme forum that deal with the hardware of the users. However, the cooler mod thread stands out from the crowd. There, many case modders show that coolers are by no means boring accumulations of aluminum discs.
Modified and beautified cooling solutions haven’t lost any of their appeal, but the cooler mod thread has been eking out a shadowy existence in the PCGHX forum for a long time. That’s a pity and we would like to change that by reminding you of the great picture thread at this point. It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for suggestions or you have embellished your case mod yourself with a mod cooler: Take a look at the cooler mod thread over!
